Iowa football releases Week 3 depth chart vs. UNI

The 20th-ranked Iowa Hawkeyes roll into Week 3 after claiming the Cy-Hawk Trophy with a 16-13 win over Iowa State from Kinnick Stadium in Iowa City.

After falling behind 10-0 early, Iowa knotted the game back up by halftime thanks to a 1-yard Hank Brown touchdown run and a Caden Buhr field goal. Buhr would add two more field goal makes in the second half, including his game-winning, 42-yarder with just 15 seconds remaining.
